Increasingly feels like where you stand on Ukraine today is where you would have stood on Czechoslovakia in early 1939.

@Choooo_choooo The Tooter, autocorrect spites me

I'm gonna delete this app from my phone now. See y'all on the footer.

Anyway, that's all. Y'all know where to find me.

came back from the Tooter because this is too fucking funny to stay away from Imagine seeing a group of users with one foot out the door of your platform and thinking "You know what will right this ship? Pushing them out of it." Phenomenal business judgment, no notes. Aces!

Good news everyone! transparency.twitter.com/en/reports/cov…

I feel like we’re close to cracking the mystery of whether the man who grew up wealthy from Apartheid might be racist

@TigheLikeTie @What46HasDone @marcusjlang @BrandoTime Yeah, and I've been called a centrist for counting to 51

BREAKING: Maricopa Country has certified the 2022 Election by a unanimous vote. Kari Lake has officially lost.

If Elon were a normal tech CEO, he would have done what every company does when they get an update rejected: called their contact at Apple, explained how and when they will cure the violations, tasked a team with doing so, then resubmitted the update. But he is a chaos monkey.

This isn't actually an ideological stance by Apple, it's 1) brand protection, 2) compliance, and 3) CYA. Their primary motivation is discouraging Congress from regulating app marketplaces any further than it already has, by convincing legislators they can self-regulate.

In addition to the racism and general loathsomeness, Fuentes is just a weird little dude. dailydot.com/debug/nick-fue…

@benshapiro I don't care, Ben, you can keep saying stuff like this but I'll never stop opposing people who call you a kapo. Kapos had guns to their heads.

The Jewish people has always been plagued by Bad Jews, who undermine it from within. In America, those Bad Jews largely vote Democrat.

As many predicted, a stripped down Twitter team that’s lost a lot of the people with institutional knowledge will face *actual* pressure on non-trivial, international speech and information suppression issues washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

@elonmusk You're literally the only person on the planet who doesn't know why.

Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why

Yup, every time Magnus the Boog comes back, a whole bunch of us try to warn y'all, and a whole bunch of y'all double down and defend the Boog. Hence why 100 of your mutuals couldn't identify the Boog. Bodes poorly for y'all keeping fash out of your spaces.

@clapifyoulikeme I'm not even sure which foul language she objected to. I think just the crassness in general offended her Indiana sensibilities.

@clapifyoulikeme The Simpsons. My mother objected to the language, and was not swayed by arguments that Springfield was literally our town, as the background design supervisor grew up there and modeled a bunch of locations off real places.

@whstancil Which aspect there do you think is it that gets the government into permissible regulation of political speech?

If Disney or the NFL was, I don’t know, selling ad space to the Klan, I sure hope our elected leaders would feel comfortable getting involved. But somehow when it’s Twitter, thinking it matters is “too online.”

The owner of one of the world’s most important political and media companies actively promoting the views of white supremacists, insurrectionists, and authoritarians is a pretty good reason for government scrutiny

@TreesSecret @Goetten_paper @whstancil How did these result from "bullying tech companies?"

Hauling Musk in front of Congress would be well-deserved scrutiny and not "intimidation," but also, if we're taking a tally, the GOP's relentless bullying of tech companies actually has won them quite a lot. The right's dominance of Facebook and Youtube is well-documented
